Chapter 1324: Responsible For Him

Jiang Yuyan went to have lunch with her father-in-law. As they sat around the table and started eating, Lu Jinhai spoke, "How are you doing?"

"I am fine, father," she replied and asked, "How is everyone at home?" she specifically meant after that evening how everyone reacted.

"Everyone is fine. We all just want you to come back home," he said, "I agree after what happened you must want to be away but we all know it was not your fault or anyone's fault. Things happen and we should face them."

Jiang Yuyan nodded, "I understand father. I will be home today."

Lu Jinhai felt relieved and said, "Lu Lijun told us all that he apologised to you for what he did."

Jiang Yuyan didn't know what to say and just nodded to it with her head lowered.

Lu Jinhai continued, "He asked me to send him away for some time."

Jiang Yuyan froze in her place as she forgot to chew the bite in her mouth.

Seeing her affected by it, Lu Jinhai spoke, "He needs some time so I think we should be considerate to him."

Jiang Yuyan finally resumed eating and asked as she nodded in agreement, "He can take over the projects in the UK for the time being."

"Hmm, I suggested the same."

Jiang Yuyan was silent and Lu Jinhai knew she worried for Lu Lijun a lot then whatever he did and said, "He will be fine after some time and not like he is going to an unknown place. Marth and Jerome will take care of him."

Jiang Yuyan nodded and said, "I apologize for whatever happened."

"As I said before it was not anyone's fault. You don't need to apologize," Lu Jinhai assured.

"For his every action, whether it's good or bad, for his every mistake, I always hold myself responsible. So it's right to apologize," she countered.

Lu Jinhai could not oppose it as she was the one who took care of Lu Lijun for all these years and her words showed he was still more important to her than anything else.

When Lu Lijun and Jiang Yuyan were deciding about themselves, others who cared for them were worried for them.

Lu Lian was worried about them as she could not focus on work. During the meeting, she was silent and was not as active as she used to be in the meetings. After the meeting was over, Ming Rusheng called for her to his office.

"Did you ask for me?" she asked like a responsible employee opposite to how happily she entered his office all the time.

Ming Rusheng nodded and stood up from his chair as he went to her on the other side of the table.

He held her hand and took her to sit on the couch. Once they sat, the assistant knocked on the door and brought the coffee for them. Leaving it on the centre table he left.

Ming Rusheng offered one coffee mug to her. She accepted and had a few sips.

"Feeling fine now?" he asked.

She nodded and he asked again, "Now tell me what is troubling you?"

Lu Lian told him everything that happened at home.

"Hmm," he looked at her, "Weren't you prepared for something like this to happen for sure?"

"I was but...don't know what to say and now feels like it happened for nothing," she replied.

"Why?"

"In the morning Lu Lijun said that he apologized to Yuyan and he will forget what he said that day," she replied.

It surprised Ming Rsuheng. Given Lu Lijun's stubborn personality it was unexpected to happen and even if it did, it was soon. He thought for a while and said, "There must be a good reason for it."

Lu Lian agreed, "I feel the same or he is not the kind to back down so easily. I wonder what must have happened."

"Don't worry much. I am sure he knows what he is doing," Ming Rusheng assured.

Lu Lian nodded and then said, "Lanlan asked us for dinner before she leaves."

This time it was time for Ming Rusheng to sigh.

"What happened?" Lu Lian asked.

"I always knew she wanted to work and we don't oppose her but it's been a few days for her marriage and she is leaving already," he replied.

"Doesn't seem like Mr Wen minds it," she added.

"He will not mind anything she will do. Having her with him is more than enough for him," Ming Rusheng said.

Lu Lian didn't get what Ming Rusheng said. But his words sounded like he was talking about someone who is deeply in love with Ming Lan.

"What do you mean?" Lu Lian asked.

Ming Rusheng was about to answer but his cellphone rang. He received it and stood up as he looked at Lu Lian, "I have to leave for the site. Take care of other things in my absence."

Lu Lian stood up and held his hand as him going to the work site always scared her.

"I will be careful," he assured and left.

In the evening Jiang Yuyan returned to the Lu mansion though she didn't know how to face everyone. No one acted differently and pretended as if nothing happened and she should be unbothered by everything.

During the dinner, Lu Lijun, who arrived home late, joined them as well. There was a silence around the dining table as no one knew what to talk about.

Once the dinner was over, the butler who came downstairs informed Lu Lijun, "Fourth Young Master, I have packed your bag. If there is anything, let me know."

Lu Lijun nodded and the butler left.

"When are you leaving?" Elder Lu asked. By now everyone knew Lu Lijun was leaving and Lu Jinhai had warned others to not stop him.

Ning Jiahui was silent all the time as she was not happy with her son going away again.

"Tonight, Grandpa," Lu Lijun replied.

Elder Lu could only nod while Jiang Yuyan, who heard it, felt guilty for it. But there was nothing she could do. He needed time and she wished to give it to him so that later he will only focus on what is important in his life- the family and the business.
